You could talk about "binary" vs "text", and it would make sense, but your
argument that "eol" is somehow better than "crlf" is just insane.

So I could certainly see

     *.jpg binary
     *.txt text

making sense. But "eol" is certainly no better than "crlf".

Linus - Perhaps I missed this, but where would you this typemap exist?
I like this sort of prescriptive approach; out of the box users would
get a bunch of reasonable defaults, but they could customize it by
adding/changing them.
